  2. Dehumidifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehumidifier

    A conventional air conditioner is very similar to an electric dehumidifier and inherently acts as a dehumidifier when chilling the air. In an air conditioner, however, the air passes over the cold evaporator coils and then directly into the room. It is not re-heated by passing over the condenser, as in a refrigeration dehumidifier.

  3. Duct leakage testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_leakage_testing

    A third test method to determine if ductwork is leaking to the outside is to use a pressure pan, which is a register cover with a pressure tap for a hose connection. With the house pressurized (or depressurized) to 50 Pa (-50 Pa) using a blower door, a pressure gauge is attached to the pressure pan by means of a hose.

  4. Capacitor plague - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

    Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...

  5. Should You Cover Your AC Unit In The Winter? Experts Explain

    Once the colder months start to make an appearance, so does your home's heating system. The AC unit temporarily becomes thing of the past but that doesn't mean it's long forgotten.

  6. Bleeder resistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleeder_resistor

    In electronics, a bleeder resistor, bleeder load, leakage resistor, capacitor discharge resistor or safety discharge resistor is a resistor connected in parallel with the output of a high-voltage power supply circuit for the purpose of discharging the electric charge stored in the power supply's filter capacitors when the equipment is turned off, for safety reasons.

  7. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    An air conditioning system, or a standalone air conditioner, provides cooling and/or humidity control for all or part of a building. Air conditioned buildings often have sealed windows, because open windows would work against the system intended to maintain constant indoor air conditions.

  8. Is it dangerous to run your AC when air quality is bad? - AOL

    www.aol.com/news/dangerous-run-ac-air-quality...

    Use an air purifier, or an air conditioner that pulls in inside air and has an up-to-date, effective air filter. If your air purifier is small, run it in a smaller room and say in there as much as ...

  9. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    Structurally, capacitors consist of electrodes separated by a dielectric, connecting leads, and housing; deterioration of any of these may cause parameter shifts or failure. Shorted failures and leakage due to increase of parallel parasitic resistance are the most common failure modes of capacitors, followed by open failures.
